Some images don't load

A little help with the version of Opera and the operating system you are using may help others test your findings.

EDIT: Just tried both sites in Opera 12.14 on Linux (32bit) with AdBlock extension disabled, and tried the various identity and masking options in site preferences..., and can confirm that the small images do not display on either site.

It's not a *NIX specific issue. The entire Gawker family of sites doesn't work properly on Opera 12 Windows either since their most recent update to the Kinja platform.

I tried digging into the JavaScript. It seems like some basic functions don't get defined properly in Opera 12, and because of that everything that builds up from it breaks. Haven't been able to figure out a fix yet though.

Feels like page load timing (RUM) issue (could be enabled by default in Chrome). Without page header (buggy NREUM script) there is not any scale data to define the placeholders for page elements. I'm not an expert so please don't kill me.

I did try with firefox, I had have adblock and the site said turn off adblock, I have adblock in opera but was inactive, now I uninstall adblock and pic still blank.
There is a way that opera block images like adblock?

Do you have referrer logging turned off? Checking referrers is how most sites block hotlinks. Easy way to check ... yeah, when I disable referrer logging none of the images load so that must be it. You can enable it form the F12 Quick preferences menu, or go to Site Preferences > Network to enable it only for that tab.
